Bill Monroe Memorial Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival

41st Annual Bill Monroe Memorial Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival June 9-16, 2007 held at the historic Bill Monroe Memorial Music Park and Campground in Brown County, IN.

The legendary Bill Monroe was greatly influenced by the great fiddle playing of his uncle Pendleton Vandiver. He was so moved by his uncle's music that he played tribute to him in the song Uncle Pen, which went to #1 in the country music charts. He later created The Bill Monroe Bluegrass Hall of Fame & Country Star Museum to honor those he felt had made a substantial contribution to bluegrass music.
